The buildings that were used to store grains and such were raised above the ground and had slate discs such as this one (covered in lichen) to prevent mice from getting in. So I've been told.
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments.

I love the colours and the shapes and the textures ... but doubt that a plate that small would stop a wee mousey!
Nice photo!
The rats could jump up on the slate, it's true, but maybe the surface isn't very easy for them to walk on? I shall have to do a little "research".
